Istanbul Race 3 - Race 3
RUN FOR GÖKTUĞ (4) draws the inside after a debut 3rd at Istanbul over 1300m in 2Y COND, which reads well second-up. ANY GIVEN SUNDAY (6) also appeals second-up off a 3rd here over 1300m 10 days ago from barrier 2 and stays at the trip. QUEEN RHAPSODY (10) is on a short turnaround after a first-up 3rd at Istanbul over 1200m and steps to 1300m from barrier 5. SPIDER (1) is fourth-up and has two 2nds this prep at 1200m and 1400m, though he must overcome barrier 11.

On a short turnaround of 13 days and fourth-up, he brings two recent 2nds at Ankara 1200m and Izmir 1400m on good ground. Drawn wider in barrier 11 after barrier 7 last time and dropping 100m in trip, he maps to get his chance if he can reproduce that maiden form.

Fourth-up and back to barrier 4, having boxed on for 5th at Istanbul over 1300m on 22 Jul behind Whitewalkers. Prior 5th at 1200m on 3 Jul (GOOD) and on debut 5th in a 2Y race when drawn wide in 10, carrying 57kg. Honest through the line each time and the set-up looks similar again.

Third-up after two 1100m runs at Istanbul, finishing 5th of 6 on 5 Jun (GOOD) with 55kg and 5th of 5 on 12 Jun. Steps to 1300m and draws barrier 2, which could help find a handier position. With two local outings under the belt, a small lift is possible.

Debuted 17 days ago at Istanbul over 1300m in a 2Y COND, finishing 3rd of 11 from barrier 4 with 57kg behind Ada Efsanesi and Wind Of Romance. Second up now and drawn the inside gate, which should aid his positioning. Solid first run at the track and trip suggests he can progress.

Second-up on a short turnaround after debuting at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y COND 1, finishing 7th of 7 from barrier 7 under 57kg. Steps slightly in trip and draws wider in barrier 10, with B.bülbül taking over from Akin Sözen. Needs improvement but the quick backup can sharpen him.

Debuted 10 days ago at Istanbul over 1300m (TB) and boxed on for 3rd of 9 behind Touch Of Glory, with La Belva 2nd, carrying 57kg from barrier 2. Second-up now and draws barrier 6 after a 4‑slot shift; returns to the same track and trip where the early platform is solid. Respectable debut points to further improvement at this stage of the prep.

On a short turnaround after finishing 12th of 12 over 1200m at Izmir eight days ago, but earlier runs included a 2nd of 5 over 1100m on 20 Jun and a 3rd of 9 over 1200m on 7 Jun. Carries 60kg today and shifts slightly in trip (+100m) from last start, with Ali Yildiz back aboard after partnering that 1100m placing. Needs to lift on the latest effort, but prior results at Izmir suggest she can be competitive if she finds that level.

Second-up after a sole run at Istanbul over 1300m 10 days ago, where he drew barrier 10 and finished 9th of 9 behind Touch Of Glory in TB company. Drops to barrier 7 today and remains at 1300m under 57kg; a cleaner run from a better gate can see improvement.

Second-up after an encouraging debut at Istanbul eight days ago, finishing 3rd of 8 over 1200m in a 2Y COND 1. Up 100m and draws barrier 5 after jumping from 3 last time; stays at 55kg with G. Özçelik aboard for C. Turan. Solid first outing behind Kartal and Torokav suggests she can build on that platform.

Fourth-up and back to Istanbul 1300m, this 2YO was 5th of 5 in a 2Y FILLIES COND on 12 Aug over 1300m (GOOD) with 54kg from barrier 6 behind Art Of Victory. Earlier runs were 10th of 10 at 1200m (GOOD, 57kg) and 10th of 10 at 1300m (FAST), so she’s looking to build on that latest effort from barrier 8.
